The Faith Journey Series


Book Description

Four lonely children, three broken homes, and two willing people all collide for one divine purpose. In this fourth installment of the Faith Journey series, all the past hardships written about in the first, second, and third books begin to take on a new perspective as it suddenly becomes very evident that those horrific events from Robin's and Tim's past--the uncertainty that came from their various life-threatening health challenges, the excruciating pain felt from betrayal and rejection throughout each of their divorces, the loneliness that followed, and all the overt demonic spiritual attacks--were all divinely permitted for a very important purpose that would prove useful in bringing up their four adopted children. Everything comes full circle as Robin realizes that the deep, dark adversity allowed in her past was part of the divine plan to prepare her for the most important task God was calling her and Tim to do. All the rejection, abandonment, anger, and fear they had experienced proved to be useful tools as she and Tim attempt to empathize and understand the heavy weight of deep-rooted hurt and trauma that their children lived with. God uses their past failures and pain to shed light on ways to help them form meaningful bonds with their adopted children; the sibling group consisting of four lost souls that would result in a loving family unit for this new family created by God out of six rejects. "We're all just a bunch of rejects living under one roof. It's no wonder that God can lift us to such heights, we all came from the pit." (Robin D. Holstein)

Faith


Book Description

In this powerful and personal New York Times bestseller, President Jimmy Carter contemplates how faith has sustained him in happiness and disappointment and considers how we may find it in our own lives. All his life, President Jimmy Carter has been a courageous exemplar of faith. Now he shares the lessons he learned. He writes, “The issue of faith arises in almost every area of human existence, so it is important to understand its multiple meanings. In this book, my primary goal is to explore the broader meaning of faith, its far-reaching effect on our lives, and its relationship to past, present, and future events in America and around the world. The religious aspects of faith are also covered, since this is how the word is most often used, and I have included a description of the ways my faith has guided and sustained me, as well as how it has challenged and driven me to seek a closer and better relationship with people and with God.” Quoting eminent Protestant theologians, in Faith President Carter describes his belief in religious freedom, moral politics, and the place of prayer in his daily life. He examines faith’s many meanings, he describes how to accept it, live it, how to doubt and find faith again. This is a serious and moving reflection from one of America’s most admired and respected citizens.

Four prominent converts to Eastern Orthodoxy, Catholicism, Evangelicalism and Anglicanism describe their new faith traditions and their spiritual journeys into them. Response chapters offer respectful critiques. Contributors include Wilbur Ellsworth (Eastern Orthodoxy), with a response by Craig Blaising; Francis J. Beckwith (Roman Catholicism), with Gregg Allison responding; Chris Castaldo (Evangelicalism) and Brad Gregory's Catholic response; and Lyle Dorsett (Anglicanism), with a response by Robert Peterson. This book will provide readers with first-hand accounts of thoughtful Christians changing religious affiliation or remaining true to the traditions they have always known.
